Duquette Johnston and The Rebel Kings

In the past Duquette Johnston was a founding member of such influential bands as Verbena and Cutgrass. Along the way sharing the stage with bands such as superchunk, pavement, foo fighters, jesus lizard, the strokes, ryan adams, bonnie prince billy and so many more.



For several years Duquette slipped into a dark place and found himself locked up in the Etowah County Detention center facing a very long prison sentence. By the grace of God he was given a second chance and released his first solo album Etowah, on Superphonic Records.



In the present Duquette is making a new record with The Rebel Kings to be released sometime next year.

"duquette johnston's quivering tenor echoes of neil young"



Started out at the Creekside Lounge to see Duquette Johnston and the Rebel Kings at the Birmingham, Alabama showcase. I met Duquette when he was in Verbena many years ago (’96-ish) and we’ve traded a rare e-mail or two every couple of years up until the last two or so years where he’s shown up on MySpace. His live show was more rocking than his debut Etowah - kind of Neil Young / My Morning Jacket / Drive-By Truckers-ish. Good ol’ rock from the South. by Chip Midnight Atomic Ned
